Answer 2

1.18 dollar.

Explanation:

E = 17/20D

E => The amount in euros.

D => The amount in dollars.

From the question given,

E = 1

D =?

E = 17/20D

1 = 17/20D

Cross multiply

20 x 1 = 17D

20 = 17D

Divide both side by 17

D = 20/17

D = 1.18

Therefore, 1.18 dollar is equivalent to 1 euro.
